Dallas nears 3-year deal with Barea

By Joe Zedalis

If this off-season has proved anything to the Dallas Mavericks, it's that there is never a shortage of players who can fill out a roster. On Monday, they had seven players under contract. Saturday, they have 11, with more on the way.

The latest, apparently, is J.J. Barea. Word out of Puerto Rico is that he will sign a three-year contract Wednesday, when the moratorium on trades and signings is lifted. The deal is worth less than $5 million, according to reports out of Barea's homeland. NBA sources indicated the deal is not done but is close.

With that, the last bit of business for the Mavericks is to wait and see which free-agent swingman might fall through the high-dollar cracks and into their lap for a minimum salary. Sign-and-trade scenarios also are possible. And they still have interest in re-signing free agents Devean George and Antoine Wright.

    Barea should consider signing with MIA, who needs a PG. He'll also be a natural fit in South Beach, and closer to home.

    hey number 4 if ur a miami fan... wow. u just pointed out the stupidity of all ur fans. JJ Barea is from Puerto Rico, it says it in the article. and now ur saying for him to come 2 south beach so he can be closer to home? if anything, playing for the knicks would wake him closer to home. sportsnut888 ur a tool.
